Abstract
THE purpose of hair is to protect the scalp; it is not necessarily a beauty asset and can therefore be tremendously enhanced by the perceptive and imaginative use of colourants. I am not suggesting that people should change their hair colour completely. On the contrary, by only slightly changing the colour to accentuate the natural pigment, the hair colour will, in turn, promote the size and colour of the eyes and the colour of the complexion. The art of hair colouring is knowing which colour to use and whether or not it will suit the client.
